| adverbs (gli avverbi)
Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. They do not agree with the word which they modify.
Many adverbs are formed by adding the suffix "-mente" to the feminine singular form of the adjective (much like the English "-ly"); other adverbs need to be learned as part of vocabulary building.
veloce>>velocemente; lento>>lentamente
bene=well; male-badly; molto=very; poco=little; troppo=too
Adverbs usually follow the verb they modify, and precede the adjective they modify.
Lei è una studentessa molto brava: studia sempre!
L'Italia è troppo lontana, vorrei andarci più spesso.
